EDITORS COMMENTS
View of the Docks in Marseille during the Maritime Strike captures a pivotal moment in French history, frozen in time through this stunning color lithograph. Taken from the front cover of Le Petit Parisien on December 21st, 1902, this print offers a glimpse into the chaos and tension that engulfed Marseille's bustling port during the strike of registered sailors. The image depicts a scene teeming with activity and emotion. Dockers and workers stand united against their employers, demanding better working conditions and fair treatment. The docks are filled with boats, both stationary and tugboats navigating through the waterways. Horses trot alongside police officers who try to maintain order amidst the industrial action. This snapshot not only showcases the power struggle between laborers and management but also highlights how essential maritime transport was for France at that time. The port of Marseille served as a vital hub connecting goods from around the world to various parts of Europe. As we gaze upon this historical artifact now housed in a private collection, we can't help but be transported back to an era where protests echoed across city streets, reminding us of our collective fight for justice and equality.
